Session outline

This session will begin with a general introduction to 3D modelling and visualisation, including concepts, software and research potential. We will then present a case study on the interior of a 17th century private library in Amsterdam, both modelling the layout and individual objects, with an emphasis on the research questions of this project. Finally we will offer a hands-on tutorial created 3D objects from 2D images, using the free and open source Blender tool.
